IE9 Error on Upgrading: Setup cannot continue

I was using Internet explorer 8, and a friend of mine told me about Internet Explorer 9. I downloaded it from a site. When I try to install, it fails to install. It suggest some error, that the computer might have some recent version installed. The error came about after 40 percent of the installation. I tried to install it again, after restarting my computer.

By the way I am using windows 7, same problem occurs after about, 40 percent of the installation process. So, I downloaded another copy and installed it again. Still the same error occurs after about 40 percent of the installation process is complete.

Windows Internet Explorer 9

Internet Explore did not finish installing

Setup can’t continue because a more recent version of Internet Explorer is installed

on your computer.

I am now asking for you help to know what is the problem with my installation.

IE9 Error on Upgrading: Setup cannot continue

Hi Janesprant!

What I've known is that Microsoft has released their final version of Internet Explorer 9 and that some users may experience this kind of error when they try to run it. The main reason for this problem is that, there is a beta, a preview build or release candidate build of Internet Explorer 9 that is currently installed on your computer, which prevents the final version installation.

So here's what you need to do. First, check if there is a listed previously build of Internet Explorer. So you need to go to the Control Panel, click Uninstall a Program, then go to third party software listing and in Installed Updates. If you find such a thing, then you need to uninstall that Internet Explorer 9. To do so, follow this instructions:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel then find Uninstall a program and click on it.

2. Locate and click View Installed Updates link, this will open a listing of Microsoft updates, that were previously installed on your computer.

Hi, Your problem is not a big one. first of all, you have to uninstall the previous version of Internet Explorer from your computer. When you do that, your computer will be able to complete the installation process. You don't need to setup your computer for that. If the uninstallation process does not work, you have to look for virus. And when you upgrade the version; use a safe website. Hope that will be enough. Thanks.

This is a very common thing to notice the error message during changing version of Internet explorer 8 to IE9.As you have mentioned that you run windows 7 as operating system, therefore you need some prerequisite software and components for successful installation. IE9 will not automatically pick all the software and components if any installation of other updates is in progress or a must restart is pending. So, you need to do that task manually. Follow this step:

Click Start, click control panel and then click windows update

If there is an update installation in progress, let the installation to complete If updates have installed but the system has not yet restarted, restart your computer.

Note: All updates will not install if you are using a prerelease version of Windows 7. Besides, you will receive an error message like”The updates were not applicable”. If you receive this error message, verify that your computer is running a released copy of Windows 7. After that you can install IE9 in your operating system successfully.
